Lose yourself for a day, a week, or forever on Magnetic Island. ‘Maggie' is a charming holiday destination characterised by the fact that it is an island community with a resident population of over 2500. It's true what they say, the attraction truly is Magnetic. Only 8 km from Townsville, Magnetic Island is only a 20 minute ferry ride with SeaLink Queensland on 18 daily services.

The island is two thirds protected National Park, situated in the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and home to some amazing adventurers that are guaranteed to make you wish you'd stayed longer. With its 23 bays and beaches, fringing reefs, wildlife, water sports and walking trails, Magnetic Island has all the beauty and serenity of untouched paradise and all the luxuries of today's modern cities. The only problem you'll have is finding enough time to experience everything on offer.

Ferry transfer time: 20 - 25 minutes (Townsville to Magnetic Island)
